The commencement of true happiness is the realization that your happiness begins with you.

To be happy, you have to risk being unhappy.

Like love, like talent, like any other virtue, like anything else in this life, happiness needs to be nurtured - this is the truth of the whole matter.

The face of a truly happy man seldom lacks smiles.

Always be happy, you never know how happy you can make another by just being happy.

Happiness springs up from within. Do not seek it without.

80% of man's happiness is based on love - love for others, love for self, love for family, love for friends, love for work, love for nature, and love for being loved.

Happiness is in contentment, gratitude, and love. It is a lifestyle, not a location.

The peak of happiness is attained when a person has accepted to be what he is.

First seek happiness from within, then you will find it without.

Happiness does not completely depend on comforts or opulence. Even a pauper can be happier than a prince.

Rain, Aren’t you my soul’s joyful tearsonly longing for the sky to be happy?

Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.

When you write a story you're telling yourself the story. When you rewrite your main job is taking out all the things that are NOT the story.

All that is unfair, offends us if it's not beneficial for us

I'm certainly not a trained singer. The only place I could probably carry a tune is my shower.

I grew up in a family of predominantly female bread winners who are strong and are fierce and opinionated. There’s not enough women like that on the screen.

It is true that as you have children, there are a good many months when you don't want to be working full-time. I agree that that's an issue.

I feel like with our shows it always feels weird to be performers on stage and not engaging in audience interaction in some way - that exchange of energy is very much a part of the sound.
